Default Finally got the brake dust off my wheels.
With a powerful paint stripper and then a dremel. Got them powder coated semi-gloss black, and then I sanded the paint off the lip. I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. Special thanks to 01SpecR for lending me his stock wheels while mine were in the shop.

Pics:




You get the idea. My camera suxorz.

Am I the only person in the world that likes the white wheels on white cars?

Yes, I know they're a pain to keep clean.

I like it, compliments your CF hood and front lip

Who did the work? What suspension are you running?

Looks good Dylan, but my only concern would be oxidation forming where you sanded off the powder coat.

As long as I keep the lip waxed, it should be ok.

Here's a before shot I found. This is taken AFTER I cleaned it with simple green and a scrub brush:

Looks sweet - I like the lip too - nice touch.
